8 Fun ideas to use with "Spanish Fun Bunny Color Cards

Spanish Fun

Bunny Color Cards

Spanish Fun Bunny Color Cards are a great way to introduce or
reinforce colors to young children.

It’s great for summer camp activities where Spanish is part
of a summer program. These bunny cards are appealing and engaging. They can be
used in a variety of ways to engage children in learning and speaking the
target language.

Even though I know you will find so many ideas on how to use
these cards I will share a few here that works well for me. The activities I
recommend here are for different levels. Select the appropriate activity
according to the age group. Feel free to adjust and make changes depending on
your group’s needs. These activities range from age 5 to 12! For some
activities previous knowledge in actions, adjectives, etc…is necessary. Before
doing some of the activities I recommend the students be familiar with certain
words so that it becomes easier to apply to conversation. So to get you started,
here we go!

Use them for:

·Teaching colors:
Instructor show and say the color on card and students repeat.

·Teaching actions: Instructor introduces each bunny or selected
bunnies by its color and says what each bunny likes to do. For example:

El conejito verde
salta. (The green bunny jumps)

El conejito azul corre. (The blue bunny runs)

El conejito rojo camina (The red bunny walks)

And so on…. you can create other actions for
the other bunnies.

·Use for questions and answer activity: After
saying what each bunny does you can ask the following questions to evaluate
comprehension.

Students can introduce a bunny of their
choice. For example: student can pick a bunny they choose and talk
about that bunny in the target language. For example student can
say: “este conejito es blanco, es inteligente y es alegre.

·Use it as a riddle game: instructor says this riddle and students say
the answer. For example:

You can assign any action and descriptive
adjective you wish to any color bunny. I just gave some examples of how you can
do it to engage students.

·Create stories: Create
short stories involving more than one bunny. I created some short stories. If
you would like to use them you can access them for free here or you can
create your own.

Talking and asking questions in the target
language and encouraging the student to answer in the target language is one
good way of helping students develope their ears for the language and further
prepare them for more advance listening
and conversational skills.

Have any ideas? Please share!And remember to ….Have fun!
